Don't touch it, the banks will reverse it themselves. And don't answer anyone that calls you that they are the owner... Tell them to go to their bank and complain

Wait for your bank to reach out , sooner or later the person who made the wrong transfer will follow up.

Just leave the money in your account so that it can be reversed by your bank when the sender want it back

They will come for it shortly; must be a mistake!
Re: I Received A Credit Transfer Into My Account From An Unknown Person by Gotocourt: 6:25am On May 18
Don't spend that money until confirmation.

Go to the bank to make a report. But also think carefully could anyone you know surprise you with such an amount?
Mine was ₦50,000. I couldn’t figure out the name on the credit alert. Later that day, I checked my Instagram messages and saw a screenshot from my cousin who is based in the U.S.
Re: I Received A Credit Transfer Into My Account From An Unknown Person by DeltaBachelor(m): 6:27am On May 18
DON’T touch it yet o. Please give it like one week, and if no one calls to inform you of it, report to the bank and have a proof, to avoid stories that touch please. You can also go to the police to report after 2 weeks for your own safety
Re: I Received A Credit Transfer Into My Account From An Unknown Person by EmekaBlue(m): 6:27am On May 18
From the sender information you blurred, you can get an idea where the money is from

But l...Why dont I get surprises like this🤔
Re: I Received A Credit Transfer Into My Account From An Unknown Person by notobiafrababe(f): 6:27am On May 18
I had similar issue on Saturday. I'd to call my bank and surprisingly, bank couldn't trace the source of the fund. I chatted someone who usually make such payments within the timeframe but the person denied sending such. I was on the verge of assuming it's an error transaction when the person I initially chatted forwarded a screenshot receipt of the transaction by her husband. She wasn't aware her husband made the payment so I'll advise you to be patient. The sender may contact you

I'm in a similar situation. Got a transfer of 200k since 24th April till now nobody has contacted me about it. I've left the account for them to reverse the money whenever they are ready. I don't want trouble

While you wait for the owner to contact you, you can double it, look for a quick business that can bring a quick profit.

You are a good person! Don't touch or eat any money that isn't yours

Re: I Received A Credit Transfer Into My Account From An Unknown Person by ShenTeh(m): 6:37am On May 18
I know this would be very tempting, but please don't touch that money.

Call your bank now. And WRITE/EMAIL them that you have received this money from an unknown source.

Request that they help identify the source details if they have access to it.

If anyone calls you to help transfer the money back, tell them to speak with their bank.

Be careful. Be very careful.

Don't mind people. It's your account and you didn't force any transaction to be credited into it. Normally if you are in a situation in need of money and no one is contacting you concerning the money after a little time wait and the payment method is not linked to a name.... It's fine for me to use it and have backup to pay back incase of anything. Remember God works in mysterious ways and life remains a mystery. Money might just be a mysterious grant into your life
